Phoenix International Raceway hasn't been kind to right rear tires during today's CampingWorld.com 500 NASCAR Sprint Cup race. Sam Hornish Jr. ate the wall earlier after his right rear tire failed, but it was Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s tire that was the most explosive failure of them all.
Status. Exclusivity. Passion. These are all things that you'd find plastered on a cheesy motivational poster in a sub-par insurance agency, and they're also the stand-out qualities of this iconic Ferrari 348 ts, which can now be yours for the price of a lightly used Ford Mustang GT Convertible. Can you even? Because…
If you distilled every joke about Europeans and their fancy-schmancy racin' cars down into one, single video, you'd end up with something like the Formula E Anthem by Nacho Cano.
When riding a motorcycle, its normally assumed that you are invisible to every other driver on the road and a grain of salt must be taken when your path is violated. This biker just couldn't let it drop when his lane was breached by a white sedan and he paid the most hilarious and idiotic price.
Today's Tank McNamara comic strip wonders if Jeff Gordon will continue to drive in his retirement—perhaps driving around other people. Needless to say, we support this idea wholeheartedly (except for Travis, for some reason).
Indonesia's Jupiter Aerobatic Team, which flies KAI KT-1 turboprop military trainers, experienced a horrific crash yesterday during a practice run for Malaysia's Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace Exhibition (LIMA). Astonishingly, all four pilots are reported to have survived the collision.
Elon Musk says he's "about to end range anxiety" through a software update to the entire Tesla Model S fleet. It's happening this Thursday, and the sound you hear is the Speculatron5100 grinding to life as everyone tries to figure out what the hell Musk is planning.
In this edition of Barn Find Friday, we're taking a look at some of the best and most patina'd classics that you can find for $4,000, or a budget that would make the average vintage car collector ask why you made them get out of bed for so few zeros. Get a tetanus shot and come right in!
There are those in life who follow the path of least resistance and grow old with a few good memories. And there are those who light their hair on fire while screaming YOLO, shooting off fireworks and jumping into a lake, bare-ass naked. Bryan Salamone is the latter, and if you thought you knew how insane his life…
Like any real Austinite, I planned on hunkering down in my house with the windows covered in newspaper until the insanity that is SXSW came to an end. At least, that was the plan until I got this thing in my driveway. Now I have a reason to leave the house.
The Formula One Australian Grand Prix itself was a bit of a turd, with more excitement over which unreliable car would drop out next than the actual racing. One man was there to save the day. One extraordinary man. I'm talking, of course, about the Governator, Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Though the BBC has yet to officially give their ruling about anything, and all that's been said is the vaguest of dinosaur-related metaphors, a Sun column written by Jeremy Clarkson is sparking a vast amount of speculation that he's leaving the show, and Top Gear itself may be gone. Is it true? Maybe, but it barely…
Tissue damage has sidelined Williams Formula One driver Valtteri Bottas for the Australian Grand Prix. The FIA just announced that Bottas has been declared unfit to race today.

The Jalopnik supported 2015 Formula One Spotter Guide is now available to download, ready for FP3 and Qualifying in a few hrs.
The McLaren Honda F1 team may be struggling to find speed and reliability with their entirely new power unit this season, but that doesn't mean that they look any less stunning heading off into the sunset.
The Chicago Department of Aviation's Airport Noise Management System recently revealed that noise complaints near the international airport are at an all time high. An official report cites that 63 percent of the 39,000 complaints in January came from just six addresses.
If you've ever wondered what happens if you fly of the top of the banking on an oval track, well, it's not pretty. Stock car racer Will Kimmel flew off Turn 1 at Mobile International Speedway during today's ARCA Mobile 200, ramping the barriers and hitting a fan's truck in the process.
We're all used to The Stig putting his (its?) hands on some of he most amazing supercars in existence, but the sixth episode of Top Gear features a Hennessey Velociraptor. How awkwardly fitting if this is the last Top Gear lap ever.
Larry Dixon is the one airborne in this frightening video as his Top Fuel dragster apparently snapped in half somewhere near 300 MPH during the Gatornationals in Florida. He somehow walked away from this accident.
Here's another surprise from my experience in a Formula E car: the electric racers don't charge using power from the grid. Juice is supplied by a generator, but it's not running gas or diesel or some kind of synthesized alien blood. It's using a pollution-free, non-toxic glycerine. I drank some and wasn't bent over a…
